Why the scores diverge

  • The 29-point gap reflects how much ideology steers each story on our six-dimension pass, not just vibes.

  • The Odyssey: Significant rearrangement and re-centering of the Trojan Horse and the destruction of Troy sequence shifts the narrative focus toward Odysseus's guilt, marking a clear legacy rewriting from Homer’s original epic.
  • Sweet Bean: Characters feel naturally integrated into the story, with depth and personal histories rather than existing as symbolic tokens.
